Simulation of nap-of-Earth flight in helicoptersNASA-Ames in conjunction with U.S. Army has conducted extensive simulation investigations of rotorcraft in the nap-of-the-Earth (NOE) environment and has developed facility capabilities specifically designed for this flight regime. The experience gained to date in applying these facilities to the NOE flight regime are reported along with the results of specific experimental investigations conducted to understand the influence of both motion and visual scene on the fidelity of NOE simulation. Included are comparisons of results from concurrent piloted simulation and flight research investigations. The results of a recent simulation experiment to investigate simulator sickness in this flight regime is also discussed.
